Discovery of Undescribed Clerodane Diterpenoids with Antimicrobial Activity Isolated from the Roots of Solidago gigantea Ait
2025
Overview
Three previously undescribed clerodane diterpenoids, including two cis-clerodanes, solidagolactone IX (1) and solidagoic acid K (2), and one trans-clerodane, solidagodiol (3), along with two known cis-clerodane diterpenoids, (−)-(5R,8R,9R,10S)-15,16-epoxy-ent-neo-cleroda-3,13,14-trien-18-ol (4) and solidagoic acid J (5), were isolated and comprehensively characterized from the ethanolic and ethyl acetate root extract of Solidago gigantea Ait. (giant goldenrod). Compound 4 has previously been reported from the roots of this species, whereas compound 5 was identified from the leaves of S. gigantea but not from the roots. The bioassay-guided isolation involved thin-layer chromatography–direct bioautography (TLC–DB) with a Bacillus subtilis antibacterial assay, preparative flash column chromatography, and TLC–mass spectrometry (MS). The chemical structures of the isolated compounds (1–5) were elucidated through extensive in-depth spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses, including one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HRMS/MS), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR–FTIR) spectroscopy. Their antimicrobial activities were evaluated using in vitro microdilution assays against B. subtilis and different plant pathogens. Compound 3 was the most active against the tested Gram-positive strains, exerting particularly potent effects against Clavibacter michiganensis with a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 5.1 µM as well as B. subtilis and Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens (MIC 21 µM for both). Compound 4 also strongly inhibited the growth of C. michiganensis (MIC 6.3 µM). Compounds 2, 4, and 5 displayed moderate to weak activity against B. subtilis and C. flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens with MIC values ranging from 100 to 402 µM. Rhodococcus fascians bacteria were moderately inhibited by compounds 3 (MIC 41 µM) and 4 (MIC 201 µM). Bactericidal activity was observed for compound 3 against C. michiganensis with a minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) value of 83 µM. Compounds 2 and 3 demonstrated weak antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum. Our findings underscore the value of bioassay-guided approaches in discovering previously undescribed bioactive compounds.
